Officers Fired More Than A Dozen Shots During Fatal Woodlawn Shooting: Video

WOODLAWN — Body-camera and surveillance video released Friday show two Illinois State Police officers fire more than a dozen shots and killing a 24-year-old man who initially had his back turned as his own firearm discharged during a struggle with the officers in Woodlawn last month.

 

The two officers, who have not been identified and are now on administrative leave amid an ongoing investigation, shot and killed Jalen Carpenter, of Markham, Illinois, while responding to a domestic battery call at 10:50 p.m. on April 15 in the 6500 block of South Champlain Avenue.
